Last four a long shot for Sussex

Heavy afternoon rain at Hove ruled out any prospect of play between Sussex and Glamorgan in the Clydesdale Bank 40

Sussex's hopes of a semi-final place in the Clydesdale Bank 40 suffered a blow when their Group A clash with Glamorgan at Hove was washed out.

Umpires Peter Willey and Nigel Cowley abandoned the match without a ball bowled after an afternoon of heavy rain and with no prospect of conditions improving.

The Sharks stay second, a point behind leaders Somerset, but will have to win their final game and hope results in other groups go their way if they are to sneak into the last four as the best runner-up. Both teams took one point from today's washout.
